CEBU CITY-- The combined efforts of the 61st and 82nd Infantry Battalions which are both under the operational control of the 301st Infantry Brigade with Brigadier General Marion Sison PA facilitated the surrender of seven NPA members of the Southern and Central Front of KR-Panay.
Sison said that after years of fighting against the government the seven NPA members decided to abandon their ideology, returned to the folds of law and embraced peace as they go back to their families.
The rebels handed over one M16 rifle, one improvised shotgun, one (1) cal .45 pistol; one homemade M79 Grenade Launcher, four 40MM HE cartridge all of which are functional.
According to rebels' statements the NPA recruited them to join the armed movement to fight and topple the government in exchange of fake promises for good life and a better future for their families.
However, these things never happened and got even worst for them and for those they left behind. They also claimed that, NPA leaders inside imposed stricter rules by plimiting them to communicate to their love ones.
With these hardship, false promises and deception, these made them to finally leave the armed group and voluntarily surrender to the army in order to live a normal life with their families. (Source and 📸: 82IB, 61IB, 301BDE)
